MERRY CHRISTMAS: For the Birds!

Merry, Merry Christmas to all!

Hope your day is delightful!

Here is another card that evolved from one I started at Liz Thayer's Totally Loving Christmas in August. The card center was Liz's design with a smidgen of layout changes. With my seeming need to layer and enlarge everything I seem to put my hand to, I trimmed the green embossed layer to an almost-square. I then added three more layers beneath it, starting from a new Real Red cardbase, an Early Espresso mat layer, and then some patterned dotted paper from my stash. Again, with this card, I think the pattern made the little bird pop off the card more and added a bit of interest as well. I loved the two different types of embossing that Liz planned for the mat behind the bird's circle and the Old Olive layer. Wonderful touches on this card!

About Me

I am a wife whose husband is most understanding of my love for paper- crafting, taking time to "ooh and ah" over my newest creations! I am the mother of four lovely adult children with three spouses. I became addicted to paper-crafting, especially cardmaking, in the fall of 2009! My mentor is my sister, Heidi Gonzales (My Lil' Scrap Corner), who is sooooo enviably creative! I love to crop with my Mom and sister and my friends. Unfortunately, Mom & Sis live in another state so it it can not be an everyday event!
